Tune Interface Reference

The Tune Interface is divided into the following sections –

•Global Correction section

•Segmentation section

•Correction Parameters section

•Graphic Editing Tools section

•Vibrato section

•Main Pitch Editing Graph

GLOBAL CORRECTION SECTION:

The Global Correction section , the first section of the Tune work flow, offers four global tune parameters which are critical for pitch detection:

Reference Pitch –This is similar to the calibration adjustment on a standard guitar/instrument tuner. It allows adjusting the overall tuning offset for any scale. Reference Pitch should be adjusted before the scan. Changing Reference Pitch later will require clearing the graph and re-scanning.

Default: A = 440hz; Range: +/- 2 octaves (220hz-880hz.)

Global Pitch Shift - Here you will define the global pitch shift which you want to perform on all scanned material. Global shift defines a constant shift in equal tempered semitones (half steps.)

Default = 0 ; +/- 12 half-steps (semitones.)

Formant Correction - The correction type can be set to Formant corrected or Non Formant corrected. For vocals we recommend formant correction to avoid unnatural pitch shifts. You may change this setting at any time and the note shift method will adjust accordingly.

Range- This parameter will narrow Tune’s detection area to a certain range (bass, baritone, tenor, soprano etc.,) making detection in that range more precise. You can change the range of detection simply by narrowing or enlarging the grayed out area on the Piano Roll. This is done by placing the mouse over the current range border until the pointer changes into a resize tool. Click-dragging will adjust the detection range boundary.
